So a shamrock is clover and clover is a weed, so weed is clover

[merh]

therefore smoking weed is just smoking a clover cig - right?

1. My dear merh!

Now, this is what I call excellent circular reasoning!

Go for it, sweetie!

:rofl:

:hug:

[merh]

2. Shamrock would be a cool name for a brand of weed when they

make it legal.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. A MOST excellent name!

[Gormy Cuss]

4. Now there's an interesting justification.

5. Just like chocolate comes from a bean, beans are vegetables

so chocolate is a vegetable! :D

:smoke:

[merh]

13. I'm willing to become a vegan now.

:silly:

6. God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles was blind. Therefore

God is Ray Charles.

[merh]

12. there ARE those that believe Ray Charles IS a god.

7. Shamrocks aren't the same as clover.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

[merh]

8. either a clover or a pea - nothing to do with bubbles and bursting

The Irish word "seamrog," from which shamrock comes, means "little clover." Black medic, wood sorrel, and the hop clover have also been called shamrocks.


The true Irish Shamrock, as identified by Nathaniel Colgan c. 1893 is a clover.

Irish wear the "shamrock," it can be any one of four plants. Three of the plants are clovers, while the fourth is a clover-like plant known as "medick." All four are in the Pea family:

1. Lesser trefoil, or hop clover (Trifolium dubium): 46%.
2. White clover (Trifolium repens): 35%.
3. Black medick (Medicago lupulina): 7%.
4. Red clover (Trifolium pratense): 4%.

15. OK.... the one sold in the US is actually an Oxalis.

"The name "Shamrock" is used to describe several different plants. The Columbia Encyclopedia describes the Shamrock as "a plant with leaves composed of three leaflets." The plants sold around St. Patrick's Day are the Wood Sorrel (Oxalis acetosella) and the Lucky Shamrock (Oxalis deppei). "

I stand corrected and now know more about shamrocks than my brain will ever retain.

[merh]

16. personally I prefer the four leaf clover - I need all the luck I can get

One leaf is for FAITH... The second for HOPE...

The third for LOVE... And the fourth for LUCK!

10. Nor is clover the same as clove, which is what the cigarettes are.

But somehow, I don't think the OP is serious. Call me crazy.

9. They've already got you covered -- clove cigs may soon be outlawed.

[merh]

11. damn it to hell

:smoke:

[Deep13]

14. fallacy of equivocation.

You are using the term weed to mean two different things.

Besides, all clover made be weeds, but not all weeds are clover.

[merh]

17. Ah yes, but is it formal or informal?
